Wemade Reveals Elements Essential for Blockchain Gaming at Game Developers Conference 2023

Wemade, a leading global developer of online and mobile games, revealed at GDC 2023, in San Francisco, March 20-24 (booth S527), the four essential elements to successfully transform traditional games into high-quality blockchain games through its WEMIX PLAY platform.
Global game and blockchain companies meeting with the Wemade team at the booth – themed “Life is Game: Blockchain Transformation” – had the opportunity to get acquainted first-hand with the platform’s “Four Module System” that implements Tokenomics, GameFi, Marketplace and Community to games, regardless of their genre or platform. As the world’s largest blockchain gaming platform servicing millions of gamers globally, WEMIX PLAY takes the guesswork out of the onboarding process, opening a new door into the future of gaming and allowing developers to focus only on creating good games.
Tokenomics – the key to refining the perfect tokenomics is to thoroughly understand and genuinely reflect upon the game’s design to create synergy between the in-game and the real-world economy. Creating the perfect tokenomics that will positively impact the gaming experience of gamers is a must as it represents the game’s potential for the global blockchain gaming community.
GameFi – allows gamers to invest their earnings through gameplay to engage in a secure and profitable economic activity. They can exchange trade, invest, stake and borrow tokens for a greater user experience.
Marketplace – blockchain games can utilise NFTs to allow gamers to transfer their in-game resources, items and even characters into assets tradable on the blockchain gaming ecosystem.
Community – this is the future of community building where every member will share a common goal, as Players, Developers, Investors and even Content Creators can come together under one common theme: game tokens. WEMIX PLAY is home to countless communities built around blockchain games and seeks to create a new landscape of the future society.
On March 21, Henry Chang, CEO of Wemade, gave a keynote speech on “The Future of Gaming: Inter-game Play and Beyond”, about how inter-game economy and inter-game play come together through blockchain technology and their impact on the future of games.
For the wider public, the company dedicated three sessions to WEMIX PLAY, covering lessons learned and successes from launching 25+ Web3 games in the past year, the process of using WEMIX PLAY and its benefits, and the know-how of servicing blockchain games. Attendees had the opportunity to discover how this transformation has the potential to revolutionise gamers’ experience, with a full account of each process involved in this transformation and its benefits.
Renowned influencer, actress and gamer Myrtle Sarrosa, the first creator to issue Fan Token MYRTLE on WEMIX PLAY, hosted a session on the new tokenomics system where both creators and fans can engage and grow together, breaking away from the linear fan-creator engagement experience into a dynamic economy driven by collective effort. Fans and creators work together in raising the value of the token while also expanding its use cases and utility through various events and campaigns.

Bet2Bank Launches New Gaming Experience with Blockchain and Web3 Technologies

Bet2Bank, a blockchain-based project, has launched a unique betting experience that incorporates traditional fixed odds sports bets, a peer-to-peer custom betting dapp and staking pools. The platform aims to solve the critical shortcomings of traditional centralised betting platforms such as lack of transparency, security and high fees. Bet2Bank operates on a three-tier system, where users can gain access to various features by holding specific quantities of BXB tokens.
Bet2Bank facilitates its users with Betting-as-a-Service (BaaS) where a custom TG bot is connected to a smart contract that works with another bot to place low-risk sports bets automatically based on preset parameters and collected data. Users can deposit USDC, give the bot a command and it will return their USDC along with any profits. The P2P Custom Betting feature allows holders to create their own custom trades and play with other members to actively trade against them, enabling a wide range of gaming options and the ability to customise games to fit specific needs and market demands. Funds are held in escrow until the outcome of the event has been decided.
Moreover, BXB is a progressive ERC-20 blockchain based Web3 project that seeks to maximise the potential that DeFi and Web3 offer to the world of finance. The platform operates on a three-tier system, which requires users to hold specific quantities of BXB tokens to gain access to the various features available within the BXB/USDC ecosystem. The platform offers USDC reflections to all holders, enabling them to receive dividends in the form of free USDC by simply holding BXB.
